Well I've finally come across one after 28 years.

It does run faster too!

I have one also I got from Italy, haven't tried it yet but it really makes me wonder if I played these PCB's in my local arcade as I don't remember it slowing down at all and it was the game I played most in 80s, you'd hope to think you would remember that detail

I have one of these, the inputs are weird on mine, think player 1 punch is on player 2 side or something ?
I think mine also has a problem with jump .... it's on my 'to fix' list !
Actually @Alpha1 could you let me know what buttons are mapped to what on yours please, might help me sort mine out !

Inputs worked on for me for player 1, punch, jump and kick.

It has no sound however but there is a broken cap in the sound section.

It's about to be listed for sale shortly!

Back then it was all about staying alive as long as possible and the slowdown actually gave you a bit more time to think so it just felt like part of the game so probably isn't something you would necessarily remember.

I have too boards of this bootleg. One I repaired at least one year ago. I heard too this board is an Italian bootleg. Yes, wiring of two buttons is necessary. Until now the 2 Pals were not (or incorrectly) dumped, it seems the new mameset (bootleg with 3M6809 set 4) has correct dumps ; if it's right it's a good news to repair these boards. It seems that mamesets 1 and 2 have a problem : I tried these to run my board and none of them worked but a mix of the two sets works fine.
